Princess Diana's Jaguar sells for 66,250 pounds

A 1994 Jaguar XJ40 formerly owned by Princess Diana was sold at an auction by The Market for 66,250 pounds. The vehicle, which is famously associated with the Princess's 1994 arrival at the Serpentine Gallery in her 'revenge dress', achieved a price 16 times higher than its initial estimate. The car was purchased on a Monday by a collector based in the United Kingdom. Princess Diana used the vehicle for approximately three years, leading up to her death in 1997. The auction set a new record for this specific Jaguar model. The term 'revenge dress' was coined by the media to describe the black silk cocktail dress Diana wore on the same day Prince Charles publicly admitted to his affair with Camilla Parker Bowles. While sources mention a sale price of 66,250 pounds, some reports including buyer fees cite the total cost at 70,800 pounds.
